10:002:002 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the
           Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.

10:002:003 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man
           with his household:  and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

10:002:004 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king
           over the house of Judah.  And they told David, saying, That the
           men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.

10:002:005 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and
           said unto them, Blessed be ye of the lord, that ye have shewed
           this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried
           him.

10:002:006 And now the lord shew kindness and truth unto you:  and I also
           will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this
           thing.

10:002:007 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye
           valiant:  for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of
           Judah have anointed me king over them.

10:002:008 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took
           Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

10:002:009 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and
           over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over
           all Israel.

10:002:010 Ishbosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to
           reign over Israel, and reigned two years.  But the house of
           Judah followed David.

10:002:011 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of
           Judah was seven years and six months.

10:002:012 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the
           son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

10:002:013 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went
           out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon:  and they sat
           down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on
           the other side of the pool.

10:002:014 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play
           before us.  And Joab said, Let them arise.

10:002:015 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin,
           which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of
           the servants of David.

10:002:016 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust
           his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: 
           wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in
           Gibeon.

10:002:017 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was
           beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
